So,are the backlit panel,the color panel and touch panel combined together in a way that they cannot be separated or can they be individually removed?Anyone opened their phone this way?

I dunno about the freerunner but with gta01 it shipped with a guitar
pick to be used to pry the case open without damaging the plastic :)

You don't have to open it to get the answer:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner_GTA02_Hardware#Display
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner_GTA02_Hardware#LCD_Module_.28LCM.29

It is a Toppoly TD028TTEC1 display module which contains LCD, Touch  
and Backlit in one part. You can't separate them without destroying  
the module. But you could replace the module.

The freerunner is easy enough to open with a fingernail.

Yes, of course ! First unscrew the 2 little Torx screws... If no you
will injure you credit cards and doing so, eating your nails !

So anyone had success in separating the LCD panel from the touch screen and the back lit?
